Productivity

How to utilise one's time, in the best possible manner..i have read much stuff about procrastination..productivity etc.....but that hardly works if you dont work on it..which is the problem in the first case...As far as i can see..it so happens that once you are not happy with your base level of productivity..then it boils down to how motivated you are to do something..or how strong the incentives are...maybe they are the same thing..neway.....so the point is..it becomes a constant struggle of always calculating the motivation incentive....which leads to mental fatigue..diminishing returns et al....thus creative a bias towards lower productivity equillibrium...

course..now that the problem has been identified...two solutions...
1) Raise your base level of productivity...-how?..simple..imbibe better habits..eg timely sleeping..plus some basic activities in routine time...some sort of rudimentary time planning if you will.....

2) Reduce the bias towards lower prodcutivity.. - How again?..again thinking matters through may help here..(however you never know)....also some sort of to-do list..may help..


course..if you really wanna be productive..give yourself strong incentives/motivation..link your work to some reward...a good way...ask for a raise..you will work hard to justify the demand...

well again....some wishes ar ebetter unfulfilled..
